Involved in several processes, including animal organ regeneration; cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; and response to axon injury. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; cell surface; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Used to study glomerulonephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AXL (AXL receptor tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
